Yes, the part where UK != EU.

Fastspring is available in all EU countries, I think, but Amazon FPS is available only in the UK. Not in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, France, I think. Paypal Business Payments? UK Yes, rest of europe? Nope. Basically, for the table to be useful to people from the EU it would have to have a column for every EU country.

Also, the PCI compliance part is not very accurate. You can get PCI compliance by simply paying some certification company and filling out a self-assessment document. Techies always think that because PCI is about safety of credit card data in order to qualify you have to prove that you act responsibly with credit card data. This is not the case. It's strictly a legal matter. You're properly PCI compliant if you meet the arbitrary legal requirements.

Are there actually any modern payment gateways available worldwide that don't suck? I've tried Paypal and Ogone and they both are a serious hassle. How i would loooove stripe or wepay to become available worldwide!

I don't think there are any. In what way was Ogone a serious hassle? Was it difficult to get to the point where you could accept payments? Payments that didn't get processed correctly? Downtime?

Ogone works when you get over the draconic configuration and contact setup with banking instances. From a technical point it works good but please don't get me started on the user experience, that's just one big fail from start to end.

SaaSy supports all countries the US can do business with. 10+ currencies, 20 languages, global tax management, etc.

Thanks, didn't realize there are such a differences.

Amazon FPS is usable from the UK but it demands you have a "US-based credit card" to sign up for it so it somewhat defeats the point of being available in the UK since getting a credit card with a US billing address is rather complicated.

Google's system is another waste of time because it demands you bill in your local currency and can't support anything else. Not much use if you're in the UK and have mostly US customers.

Yes, Google checkout is available to UK merchants. Fees are only 3.4% + £0.20 which seems far better than what FastSpring are offering

Google Checkout doesn't really do anything to help with subscription services though.

They have something coming for subscriptions which is in beta and described here: http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/Google_Checko....

Chargify have an article comparing their service (recurring billing management) with Google Checkout here: http://help.chargify.com/entries/20110971-how-does-chargify-...
